Report Details:
From the vicinity of Val Vista & East Adobe Street, it was night out, & I noticed a bright red light in the sky, magnetic bearing 136 degrees (SE), approx. 20 degrees elevation. I thought it was an approaching aircraft, but it was bright red. It dipped down, dimmed, brightened, dipped down again, dimmed & brightened again, then disappeared from view. An aircraft flying at night would not normally douse its lights. I could see no other lights with it. Only a bright red light, similar to a passenger jets landing light, could be seen. Big jets fly overhead all the time landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, so I'm somewhat familiar with them. Might be a drone, but why would the light extinguish altogether? No photo available.
